ਤੂੰ ਜਾਂਦੈਂ, ਲੱਭਦੈਂ ਉਸ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਨੂੰ (You go, searching for that happiness) ਜਿਹੜੀ ਕਦੋਂ ਦੀ ਤੇਰੇ ਅੰਦਰ ਸੌਂ ਰਹੀ ਏ। (Which has been sleeping inside you for long.) ਮੈਂ ਨਕਸ਼ੇ ‘ਤੇ ਉਧਾਰ ਲਿਖੇ, (I wrote debts on maps) ਤੂੰ ਮਿੱਟੀ ‘ਤੇ ਨਾਂ ਲਿਖੇ — (You wrote names on soil —) ਦੋਵੇਂ ਧੋਤੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਮੀਂਹ ਨਾਲ਼। (Both get washed away by rain.) deep punjabi song
